The objective is to minimize the fuzziness of the partitioning while maximizing the accuracy and interpretability of the generated rules. The research utilizes a dataset consisting of customer transactions, including demographics, purchase details, and satisfaction ratings. The fuzzy grid partitioning process divides the customer space into grid cells, representing different segments. Fuzzy membership values are assigned to data points based on their association with each grid cell. Rough set theory is employed for attribute reduction, identifying the most relevant attributes for customer segmentation. Rule induction algorithms generate rules that capture the patterns and dependencies among customer attributes and their association with specific grid cells. The hybrid approach combines the advantages of adaptive fuzzy grid partitioning and rough set-based rule generation. The optimization process adjusts fuzzy membership values and refines the generated rules to improve accuracy and interpretability. A numerical example and a case study in the retail industry are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. Results show successful customer segmentation and generation of actionable rules for marketing strategies. The research contributes to the field of customer segmentation by providing a comprehensive methodology that integrates adaptive fuzzy grid partitioning and rule generation using rough set theory. The hybrid approach offers valuable insights into customer behavior, enabling targeted marketing campaigns, personalized recommendations, and enhanced customer satisfaction.","PeriodicalId":262913,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Enterprise Modelling","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116827335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Multiple locations, time periods, transportation expenses, facility opening costs, production capacity, and demand fulfillment requirements complicate supply chains. Supply chain optimization's complexity and huge solution areas challenge traditional optimization methods. Quantum algorithms can efficiently explore bigger solution areas in quantum computing. Starting with problem identification, this research reviews quantum computing and supply chain optimization literature. The supply chain optimization problem is modeled mathematically to incorporate transportation, facility opening, production, and cost.

Traditional rule generation methods often struggle to handle large datasets and dynamic environments, leading to decreased accuracy and computational inefficiencies. In this study, we present a novel approach that integrates scalable and adaptive techniques to enhance the accuracy, efficiency, and interpretability of rule-based frameworks. The scalable fuzzy grid partitioning algorithm efficiently partitions the attribute space, allowing for the generation of rules in decision-making systems with a large number of data points. By incorporating data parallelization and dimensionality reduction techniques, the approach mitigates computational complexity while maintaining rule generation accuracy. Furthermore, the adaptive fuzzy grid partitioning algorithm dynamically adjusts the partitioning structure based on changing conditions, capturing evolving patterns and ensuring the relevancy and reliability of the generated rules over time. The generated rules are evaluated using fuzzy rule evaluation functions, which consider the degree of membership in the corresponding fuzzy grid cells. This evaluation process ranks and selects the rules based on their firing strengths, providing an interpretable decision-making framework for complex systems. The approach enhances the interpretability of the generated rules by capturing the uncertainties and complexities inherent in decision-making processes. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, we conducted experiments using a credit risk assessment case example. The results demonstrate improved accuracy and efficiency compared to traditional rule generation methods. The generated rules offer transparency and insight into the factors influencing credit risk assessments, enabling informed decision-making.

This research proposes a novel hybrid approach that combines grid partitioning, rough set-based feature reduction, and fuzzy rule generation to enhance classification accuracy and interpretability. The approach begins with the partitioning of the dataset into a grid of cells, enabling localized analysis and capturing intricate patterns. Next, rough set-based feature reduction is applied to identify essential features and reduce dimensionality. This process helps overcome the curse of dimensionality commonly associated with complex datasets. Subsequently, fuzzy rule generation is employed, leveraging linguistic variables and membership functions to represent imprecise and uncertain information. This enhances interpretability by providing transparent decision-making rules. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, comparative analysis with traditional classification methods, including decision trees, support vector machines, and neural networks, is conducted. The results demonstrate the superiority or at least comparability of the hybrid approach in terms of classification accuracy, computational complexity, and interpretability. However, it is essential to acknowledge the limitations of the research, such as the sensitivity to grid size and the interpretability-performance trade-off. Future research can focus on refining the approach by exploring optimal grid size selection methods and mitigating the interpretability-performance trade-off.The findings of this research contribute to the advancement of accurate dataset classification techniques.
